De School opened in January of 2016 on Doctor Jan van Breemenstraat in Amsterdam’s west. The venue, which used to be a technical school, is more than a nightclub: it’s also has a concert venue, a restaurant, a café, an exhibition space and a gym. It has a 24-hour license and is open seven days a week. The nightclub has a capacity of 700 and is located in the school’s former bicycle storage area. The club’s programming focuses on local DJs, who are given the opportunity to play extended sets, but international guests also regularly stop by.

In addition to the club, De School hosts concerts in a 200-capacity former workshop. Its secluded outdoor courtyard is open all year round to members of the public, not just club-goers. De School is owned and run by Post CS BV—the same crew that ran Amsterdam nightclubs Trouw and Club 11.
